About Us
The Processing Systems Lab (PSyLab) consists of a closely-knit group of PhD, MS and undergraduate researchers who pride ourselves in a culture conducive to critical thinking, and supporting each others work as we explore interesting and impactful problems across a range of areas.
Presently, we conduct research on circuits, methodologies, and architectures in the design of digital and mixed-signal systems. We characteristically exploit observations at the system and architecture level, and draw from ideas outside of traditional circuit design to devise new, creative solutions to important problems. These techniques have been demonstrated over a broad range of technical areas spanning energy-efficient computing, clocking, baseband processing, thermal sensing, machine learning and the design of neural interfaces to name a few.
